Mine recently said 'I still find you attractive' in a sulky, teenage voice as if to say 'why would you think I didn't?'

Genius said to me,
"You always were the good looking one in our relationship.  And you are hideous so what does that say about me?  You had too many men hit on you.  How could I compete?  I don't have that problem with OW."

AFFAIR DOWN JELLO BRAIN ANYONE??

Genius posted a picture of him and OW recently.  People around the world commented.  One said, "The picture of you and your daughter is terriffic.  The location is beautiful.  Why are you grimacing?  Did you get food poisoning or the bill for the shopping bags at your feet?"

Hi Iamnottheenemy!  That is soooo funny!  So true.  Once I saw Genius call OW.  His facial expression was a sick weird smile/grimace.  He went out into the backyard where I could not hear well.  I did hear him turn on his annoyed voice and then yell "I have been busy! Never mind where!  I will go home when I get ready to.  D*mn!" 

I am curious-for those of you with pets-did your spouses/partners change their interaction with the animals.  For months before we split all Genius could talk about with me was the animals, since the final split-nothing.  No questions, nothing.  He used to SKype to the dogs nightly just to see them even when I was not home.  He was so attached to them and such a loving father.  Now-cold.  Both animals went through a withdrawal and missed him horribly for some time.  One would scratch at the screen nightly hoping to hear Genius' voice.  Then lay in front of it and whine when it did not come on.  So sad. 

It is one of the things I just have not forgiven him for doing, hurting innocent creatures who gave him unconditional love.

lawprofessor - hi

Same here, since H left, he's gone from someone adoring our pets to not even acknowledging them if he comes to the house, which isn't often, and on the first occasion, I think he forgot one of the cats names.  We've only had her for 8 years (!), and he doted on her since day one, and that went to not even stroking her.  When he does show up, she follows him around as she used to, and just sits waiting for some kind of recognition or words, and there's nothing.  Its so sad.  Then again, he doesn't even speak to his two children, so I'm not surprised.  He did get himself a dog though after he left, and treats her very well.

During one of H's visits, we've had 3 in a year, and his first time seeing the kids since he walked out, he took a call from OW  , and for someone "in love", he showed no pleasure from hearing from her whatsoever, just flat matter of fact, certainly not one like a newlywed, but in his defence (?), bit of an odd place to talk.  I was furious as he finally came here, and the kids got their first chance to see him, and he took a call from her, and even when he told her he was with the kids, she/they still kept talking.  Then she called back, and he went outside to continue his talk for another half hour.  Makes my blood boil to think of what he did, and there's his kids sitting waiting.  So horrible. 

Worse he gets, the easier it is for kids and I to be done with this behaviour.
